there seems to be a fix for this already...not sure if it fixes the compass issue, but it definitely fixed the gps issue for me...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728611

not my fix, i just found it in another thread and thought it would be helpful for others here.
[Vibrant General] offensive:
Have any of you tried applying the GPS fixed? That seemed to fix all of the inaccuracy and lock problems.
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
The GPS issue and compass are unrelated. If you read through that thread listed by the post before yours, the compass was not fixed by modifying the GPS settings. The owner of that thread removed compass fix from the title as well because it was not fixing the compass issue.

I think a lot of people aren't even aware of the difference between their compass and their GPS. Keep in mind, they are different pieces of hardware. The GPS is a signal receiver where as the compass is a magnetometer. The Compass is how your phone knows what heading your phone is facing, so programs like google sky, streetview, layar, wikitude etc all rely on it. It does require both your GPS location and compass reading to accurately display the things that your phone is physically pointing at but won't work correctly if either are mis-functioning.
[Vibrant General] Barret1:
That fix is only a partial fix. It fixes the A-GPS SUPL server so that the phone will get a lock quickly. However, if you run GPS status, you will see that the phone is still only locking on to ~2 satellites, which is problematic. For a full fix, so that the GPS can lock more satellites, we will need a fix from Samsung.

Also - thanks Jon!!!
[Vibrant General] bullale:
Edit: Barret1 beat me to it.

One thing to add, the people that report the fix makes a huge difference are probably those that previously had "Use wireless networks" disabled as it is by default. When you enable that, the phone uses the mobile network to help position you, and this can be done fairly quickly and without line of sight to the sky.
[Vibrant General] cnbuff410:
Thanks for your effort. Hopefully this will be solved soon
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Just to update:

I haven't been contacted since our initial conversation. I was promised that I would be updated, as soon as the requested info was acquired. Either way, if I don't hear back by tomorrow, I'll email back and maybe make some more phone calls...

This is really depressing. I hope Samsung fixes this device, so I don't have to return it. :(
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
Would it help if more of us started contacting Samsung about this?

Do you have a direct phone number to call? I tried the Samsung help line, but every time it tries transfers me to a customer representative, the phone system hangs up on me. I haven't been able to talk with anyone there because of it.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I called 1-888-987-4357.

I requested to be put through to a Level 3 tech. I had to build a profile with the company, and register my device. I then explained that the Digital Compass and GPS did not work as advertised, and that I needed to ask some pretty intense questions.

The frontline of defense is your average Best Buy / Geek Squad kinda guy. You know what I mean? "Have you tried rebooting?" That kinda ****. Level 3 Techs are pretty nerdy, I've found.

The more of us that call, the more pressure we put on them to fix the device or issue a recall / refund or whatever is needed to satisfy people.

Have at 'em. Otherwise, I'll update when I hear more from the tech I have as a contact.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
So, I finally got a brief email from my Samsung Tech, today.

"There will be an OTA (over the air) update. There is no estimated time just yet."

Super vague. Does this mean it will be rolled in with the 2.2 update? Will it address all of the problems we're seeing, or just the Compass? Because if the GPS performance is expected to be the same, I'm taking this phone back.

You know, I might just do that anyway... :(

I'll try to get more info and post it here. I doubt I'll get it in a timely fashion, though.
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
Thanks for the update!

We still have a bit of time before the 30 day return policy is up, so hopefully more details come out before then. I hate to say this, but I am also hoping more details will emerge regarding the HSDPA+ phone that is supposed to come out late this summer so I can make a firm decision on of this phone is worth sticking with.
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
its pretty clear this device was rushed to market and not properly tested or if it was tested they ignored some unforgiveable flaws and bugs. half the threads on here are sw deficiencies, crashes, and bugs lol.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Yeah, and that never happens in the electronics industry...I'm flabbergasted! :p

Kidding. Anyway, thanks for the update. It's encouraging that they're at least acknowledging the problem.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
I used to be a Level 3 Tech and yes, you are correct :)

But no, I don't miss my job!

I believe the t-mobile buyer's remorse period is only 14 days, FYI (unless you live in california, in which case I think it's 30)
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
Oh, I didn't realize it was shorter in the rest of the country. That is a good point.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Has anyone heard anything new about this?
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
I just hope this is a firmware issue.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
I hope that 1.) it's a firmware issue and 2.) enough pressure is put on Samsung to release a fix. I hope people are calling T-Mobile and raising a stink about this like they are with the GPS issues.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I have an EBl1 radio.

I downloaded the three Cyanogen files I needed. The 5.0.8 ROM, the 5.0.8 ebl1 file and the correct google addons. I did a full wipe and flashed these. I even formatted the memory card after.

I'm running .2005 SPL and have flashed super-D successfully many months ago. I'm not sure why this isn't working now. It just gets stuck on the rogers logo. Cyan is the only ebl1 rom I know that's left around here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Um.. can you enter the fatboot screen and just confirm the exact radio version.. and tell us the order you flashshed the files in when you wiped if logcat outputs anything.

Also what rom do you need an ebi1 port of? If its cm based we can use the cm kernels, if its not cm based or is not the cm kernel ask where the rom maker got their kernel from and if it was modified request the source code as per gpl. Then we can make the port.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
It says

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

Radio 3.22.26.17

Flash order:

update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed (says welcome to cyan)

gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed

bc-5.0.8-ebi1-signed
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Hrmm looks right something must be making it choke.

Try in fastboot:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system -w

Return to recovery:

Then flash cm5.0.8, text patch (link in sig), gapps, the ebi1 port file.

Also if you fail to boot attatch the USB, run 'adb logcat' on your computer then turn on the phone, maybe it will tell us why its choking.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
So the dalvik interpriter is up and running but can't find some class.. this is odd on a full wipe; for a test with as few variables as possible try this:

Fastboot erase steps again, then flash from recovery again, but just before restarting remove the SD card.

If it fails to boot without the SD card take a log again, you can use 'adb logcat > log.txt' to have it output to file to get the full log from boot.

If it works reformat/erase all files/wipe the ext partition, then try with the SD card.

View something on the screen with a large solid black region in a dark room. If the black actually appears black, you have an OLED screen. If you can see the backlight bleeding through you have an LCD.

I have an X1, too. What are you looking for exactly, concerning the Sony Ericsson Panel? The Panel itself is located in /Program Files/Panels/SonyEricssonPanel and the clock image files are in clock.vui and clock_huge.vui. Just rename .vui to .zip and you can open the files and find transparent .png images of the clock :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spikegotti:
Sorry for the mishaps guys, until i release v3 with an uninstaller you may have to install another lockscreen or reset ur device...

sorry but no changes unless you do them yourself at your own risk... date and AM/PM overlapping is how it's suppose to be with this big clock

sorry guys but i can only test on the HD2 because this is the only device i have now

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aLlamaWithARifle:
It's really good and a big improvement over the original but the date is overlapping the time on mine is that right?

Also some other things that should be changed I reckon is the "Slide to unlock" at the bottom is far too close to the very bottom of the screen it just looks like you forced it to be there. Also the gap between the actual slider and the top of the slider box if that makes sense is too small, it should be made a similar height from the bottom of the screen to where the slider starts.

The time should be centered also and then the date be placed underneath it also centered.

Might seem like quite a lot but they are all fairly small problems but overall I really like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spikegotti:
dude, this lockscreen was made to be how it is... to suit my taste... the characters all have shadows, and are bigger than average...

the date and am/pm suppose to be overlapping,

again

this is how i meant it to be

why center all clocks on every lockscreen? why have everything in neat order?

why must this lockscreen have problems and not be what i wanted? im kinda confused here
